Subject: [PATCH 4.7 155/186] IB/rdmavt: Disable by default

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@...disk.com>

commit 378fc3201eae07ab0fa7fb4133da141c3072f995 upstream.

There is a strict policy in the Linux kernel that new drivers must be
disabled by default. Hence leave out the "default m" line from Kconfig.

Fixes: 0194621b2253 ("IB/rdmavt: Create module framework and handle driver registration")
